Now is the Time to Check Smoke Alarms

10/31/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Daylight Saving Time ends today (October 31st). While your phones and computers will automatically “fall back” an hour, you'll still need to check your ovens, microwaves, and, most importantly, your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. The beginning and end of Daylight Saving Time is a good time to make sure all your alarms are working and to change the batteries.
 
Also, note the manufacture date of your devices. The National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing smoke alarms when they are 10 years old. Most carbon monoxide alarms have a lifespan of about seven years before they lose efficacy. If your devices need replacement, contact us to install new smoke/CO alarms for you. We recommend Nest Protect smoke & CO alarms, which check their batteries and sensors over 400 times a day, have a friendly human voice that tells you where the danger is, and can send alerts to your phone.
 
Contact AvidWorks Technology for details. To date, we’ve earned more than 920 five-star reviews for our top quality work (Google, Nest, Trustpilot, Yelp). Send email to info@avidworkstechnology.com or call (800) 701-9021 to learn more.

Happy National Puppy Day!

Whether you have a puppy or a grown dog, installing smart home technology in your home can make it easier to manage and monitor your pet’s needs. And, that means peace of mind. Plus, smart home devices can satisfy your curiosity. Just what does your puppy do while you’re away during the day? Is he napping on the couch or shredding something?!
Smart camera – With a smart camera such as the Nest Cam IQ, you can keep an eye on your puppy day or night via the Nest app. With HD resolution video, 12x digital zoom, night vision, and a microphone and speaker – you can even talk to him through the camera. Subscribe to Nest Aware and you can choose to get alerts specifically when your dog is barking. Plus, create and save video clips and time lapses of his silly antics to share with friends and family on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter.

Nest Learning Thermostat and Temperature Sensor
​Smart thermostat – A smart thermostat can ensure that the temperature of your home stays comfortable for your puppy. A Nest thermostat, for example, can be controlled remotely. Its “Safety Temperature” feature prevents your home from going above or below certain temperatures. Also, you can add a Nest Temperature Sensor, which lets you choose where your thermostat measures the temperature in your home. This way, you can keep the temperature comfortable in the room(s) where your puppy spends his time.
Many connected devices made specifically for dogs are available now. For example:
  • Feeder – A programmable feeder enables you to feed your puppy while you're at work – or stuck in traffic. Receive alerts when your puppy's meals are served.
Picture
PetSafe Smart Feed automatic feeder
  • GPS tracker – Live GPS tracking uses a smart collar and offers activity and health tracking features. Receive notifications via an app or text message.
  • Dog door – A smart door can let your puppy pass through, but mitigate security risks and prevent stray animals from coming in. You can also fully lock the door.
  • Toys – Remote controlled balls and toys enable you to play with your puppy while you’re away.
  • Dog bed – A smart dog bed provides temperature control, and tracks weight and sleep patterns.
